Engineering Fundamentals in Life Science

Session 41 - Intracellular Processes I
The application of engineering principles to biological systems has promoted a quantitative understanding of cellular functions. This session seeks submissions that utilize either experimental methods or computational modeling to analyze intracellular processes in prokaryotes or eukaryotes. Areas of interest include, but are not limited to, binding and molecular interactions, signal transduction, intracellular trafficking, cytoskeletal dynamics, gene expression and function, and metabolism.
